Across
  1. 3. times in the past when continental glaciers covered large parts of Earth's surface.
  2. 5. a meander cut off from a river
  3. 8. a wind-formed deposit made of fine particles of clay and silt
  4. 10. the process by which a glacier picks up rocks as it flows over the land
  5. 15. a long, narrow glacier that forms when snow and ice build up in a mountain valley
  6. 16. A tiny groove in soil made by flowing water
  7. 18. water that flows over the ground surface rather than soaking into the ground
  8. 19. a channel through which water is continually flowing downhill
  9. 21. wide valley through which a river flows
  10. 24. energy that is stored and available to be used later
  11. 26. water that fills the cracks and spaces in underground soil and rock layers
  12. 29. a calcite deposit that hangs from the roof of a cave
  13. 30. a beach formed by longshore drift that projects like a finger out into the water
  14. 31. a deposit of wind-blown sand
  15. 32. the sediments deposited directly by a glacier
  16. 33. a part of the shore that sticks out into the ocean
  17. 35. the force of attraction between all masses in the universe
Down
  1. 1. a loop-like bend in the course of a river
  2. 2. wave-washed sediment along a coast
  3. 4. Any one of several processes by which gravity moves sediment downhill.
  4. 6. a small depression that forms when a chunk of ice is left in glacier till
  5. 7. the force that opposes the motion of one surface as it moves across another surface
  6. 9. a glacier that covers much of a continent over Earth's surface caused by forces inside Earth
  7. 11. the movement of water and sediment down a beach caused by waves coming in the shore at an angle
  8. 12. a large channel in soil formed by erosion
  9. 13. a wide, sloping deposit of sediment formed where a stream leaves a mountain range
  10. 14. a region in which a layer of limestone close to the surface creates deep valleys, caverns and sinkholes.
  11. 17. the amount of sediment that a river or stream carries
  12. 20. the energy an object has due to its motion
  13. 22. a cone-shaped calcite deposit that builds up from the floor of the cave
  14. 23. a ridge formed by the till deposited at the edge of a glacier
  15. 25. a stream that flows into a larger stream
  16. 27. wind erosion that removes surface materials
  17. 28. a large mass of moving ice and snow on land
  18. 34. a land form made of sediment that is deposited where a river flows into an ocean or lake
